I have read all three of the Anne McFarland books, and they are so good! If you love historical fiction and have an imagination that runs away with objects or buildings of the secrets they hold, then this series is for you! You do not have to read them in order, but I would highly […]

The Silent Wife by Karin Slaughter – Will Trent #10 (ARC – Releases 7.28.2020)

If you like dark, gruesome, detailed crime novels then this is your author. If you are more of the faint of heart, I would not suggest this type of novel. It has been a few years since I have read her books. They do not have to be read in order, although it often does […]

Concealed by Esther Amini (Memoir of a Jewish-Iranian Daughter Caught Between the Chador and America)

I learned a lot about Muslim and Jewish family values in this novel. Esther grew up in a very interesting household. She was born in the US, however her family had come here just a few years earlier. This was a very interesting look into the life of her family and how her dad still […]

You and Me and Us by Allison Hammer

This is my first novel by Allison Hammer, and I will be seeking out more of her novels to read in the future. This was a good, light-hearted family focused read. Alexis is used to putting her work first, and always has. CeCe is a teenager struggling to figure out life, and Tommy has just […]

The Familiar Dark by Amy Engel

I read her other novel, Roanoke Girls which was VERY good as well, however Amy doesn’t hold back. Her novels are a bit dark and often can have situations that will make some uncomfortable. So if you like the dark and mysterious, with subjects that often are hushed about, this is your author! Eve is […]
